Tributes to Antony Bourdain continue to emerge in the cultural universe, as happened in 2021 with the documentary ‘Roadrunner’ premiered at Tribeca or with the recent reissue of the book ‘Les Halls’ for its 20th anniversary. The best-selling classic by the renowned chef, which compiles his delicious recipes and provocative tricks of the trade from his famous French brasserie in New York, will return on October 15 with a special edition that incorporates a foreword by Gabrielle Hamilton, chef, writer and founder of Prune.
Now, Bourdain’s life will be brought to the big screen. The biopic, which will be titled ‘Tony‘, will be produced by Star Thrower Entertainment, while the screenplay will be written by the duo of Lou Howe and Todd Bartels. In addition, iconic production company A24 is in talks to produce with Trevor White and Tim White under its Star Thrower banner, along with Johnson and Matthew Miller. Emily Rose will serve as executive producer.
Dominc Sessa, the breakout actor of the year known for his starring role in ‘The Holdovers’, will thus step into the role of Anthony Bourdain. However, it is still unknown which period he will play from the life of the beloved TV personality and host of ‘No Reservations’ and ‘Parts Unknown’ who died by suicide in 2018.
